this is probably the most popular street food vendor in indonesia, selling meatball soup. it serves with rice clear noodles or the yellow noodle or sometimes both, in a clear broth soup. they can be found on the streets, travelling from one alley to another, or parked near the office buildings, school areas, etc.
recently, there was a local tv program broadcasting a rumor that they made the meatballs out of rat's meat. soon, people were avoiding to buy these meatball soups from the vendors, creating protests from the sellers. of course, noone really knows if it's true or not, but soon after, city officials & local celebrities worked on a campaign by consuming the meatball soup from the street vendors to show that the info was just nothing but destructive rumor.
thanks for the welcome greeting from the daily photo family! this will be my premier posting and it's been an honor to be invited. i hope i won't disappoint you.. ;)
Went to Cilandak Town Square on the weekend. Baskin Robbins is my daughter's favorite stop for ice cream, located just below the Matahari (which means Sun) Dept. Store.
I saw a few kids riding a Delman with wearing traditional outfits. It must be one of the school activities.
A quite unusual sight of road in Jakarta. This was taken early in the morning. It'll be packed during rush hour.
I've posted a Javanese wooden doll picture before, and here's another one. He's a wayang (puppet show) character, but I'm not sure which one. Perhaps my fellow Indonesians out there could help remind me. The red rounded shape thing on the upper right is a bag. I think it's really cute :)
These are atm machines in one of the malls. Most of our malls have an atm center like this. Nowadays we can pay our bills via the atm (or internet, or cellphones, any other new technology I don't know about?). No doubt of the convenience, but I personally prefer paying my bills at the counter so I could get proper receipts with stamps and all :) Guess I am a bit conservative...
Most of Jakartans are big fans of soccer and they are all celebrating the world cup. You can see many places around Jakarta, such as restaurants, supermarkets, malls, etc are using the world cup as a theme. I took this picture one afternoon, where the locals were playing soccer on the field near my house. Have fun with the world cup to all of you soccer fans out there!
Apologies for not posting these couple of days, I've been sick at home.
Remember this post? This is how it looks inside. You can see how they arrange the plates with all kinds of food. Those things lined up on the left side are crunchy kerupuk which goes delicious with the spicy Padang food :) Ok, you all know by now that I'm a spicy food lover!
I'm in the mood of posting food pictures these days. So bear with me :)
Es Doger is a dessert contains Indonesian fruits such as nangka, avocado, coconut, and tapioca mixed with ice and condensed milk. Tastes very sweet. The pink color comes from pink jello and syrup.
